Addiction

Just a bubble ready to pop,

Like rain, will drop.

Floating away,

Feeling dismay.

 

Anxiously wait for it to burst,

consumed and cursed.

In need of help

Inside I yelp

 

Leave this crippling feeling I will,

Just one last pill.

Have no control,

My addict soul.

Distraction helps.

You describe the overwhelming claim on our souls, of addiction, very well. I love the generic adds surrounding this poem!lol Reminds me that 'Addiction' is profitable.

Smiling at you

I love this, it feels so real! Wow amazing write.

"Anxiously wait for it to burst,
consumed and cursed"
"Have no control,
My addict soul."
Best verses!

I know a few addicts and I feel that this poem gives me some sort of excerpt of their thinking.

This is a short poem, but it reveals so much.

"Leave this crippling feeling I will,
Just one last pill.
Have no control,
My addict soul."

The "Just one last pill" line is a nice touch. It's always, just one last pill, but it never really is. And the two following statements sums that up.

"Have no control,
My addict soul."

Very nice. Although I really hope it's not from experience! :/

As a fellow addict, I can relate to this poem. Very well written. Describes the pull of the addict.

... wow ... you must be a master of brevity ... this is deep, powerful and moving ... and it has that quaint lingering ache of an addiction ... "leave this crippling feeling i will, Just one last pill" ... is such an intense set of lines ... amazingly well-written ... outstanding verse ...
